Caroline Danjuma

I got you message on the above article however I have direct instructions from the person of interest (Caroline) to make changes to the article which was originally created on her behalf without her consent. But since it is there we might as well make relevant changes where necessary. She insists that the article has direct implications on her business & image and maybe pushed to sue if the restrictions on correction is persistent. I am actually new to this hence the late response, I wasn't sure how to reply or that I even had a message to begin with. please advice

Moved to Talk:Adesua Etomi  – Relevant for article talk.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 23:34, 29 May 2017 (UTC) Adesua Etomi Birth Year Hello Darreg, I see your point about, about people's saying they are a year older even though their birth month is 3,4 or 6 months away. But that is people and their preferences and what they want to tell others, This is an article which users require basic facts like date of birth. Frankly, news articles or especially Nigerian One's tend not to get people's birth year right. What I am saying is your point is based on subjective reasoning not objective because this is clearly a fact. She was 29 in January 2016, her birth date 22nd February in 2016(the following month) she turns 30. Now 2017, comes 22 February 2017 she is 31. We are now in May. So I do not get this whole argument, but if we are to follow your logic then by now she should be saying she is 31, because her birthday was 3 months ago , so there is no need for her to say that "I am about to turn.."(the next age). In general terms,even if some people like to fast forward their age even though their birth month has not yet arrived, does not mean articles will follow suit. We will continue to say the person's current age until their birthday arrives. So please let's not base it on what people want their age to be. Example- Right now I am 20 years old. My birthday is in December, were I will turn 21. Your argument is that, if I were such people who want to fast forward their age (which I personally find odd, because everyone is trying to be young so why increase your age or try to be older). I would go around telling people between now and late November that I am 21 years old. But what I am saying is if you were doing an article or story on me today, you would say I am 20 years old, because that is simply the truth. I am nowhere near 21 years old, until December, so it would be wrong for you the article to refer to me as 21. That will be just bad journalism. So we need to base it on facts, pure hard facts, not people' s subjective truths about themselves. If we are honest people do not even like to admit the truth to themselves, so if you are doing a story on me just state my current age as of now, as in PRESENT TENSE not FUTURE TENSE. Also, if we are not adding her birth year, please remove the year from the Google webpage as whenever you type her name on Google 1988 appears on the results page, which is just false and misleading. Also please take down that website citation next to her date of birth, because that should third party site is wrong on all levels and should not even be compared tot he source I provided on YouTube. As first the date in which it was published is 2015 that alone shows it is far from credible and next to the year of birth it still has 29 next to 1988. That means she was also 29 in 2015. So I endeavour you to please banish that link from her Wikipedia page because it is just all wrong. Though I agree that you need a source that states her year of birth. I would still argue that we have all the proof that we need but in the meanwhile her year of birth should not be included because as proven it is definitely not 1988. But as stated above just because some people decide to fast forward something does not mean we should follow them and we should report in the present not future. Plus Adesua Etomi seems like a direct person, and once asked how old she is she would not hesitate to say her real and current age, not make estimations. In developed countries, when writing your date of birth they work with your current age.Kufuor101 (talk) 00:20, 23 May 2017 (UTC) Adesua Etomi Date of Birth Hello Darreg, in response to the changes I made on the Adesua Etomi page. I am new to Wikipedia and I am still learning how to navigate and familiarise myself with Wiki's operations. Hence I apologise if I have not inserted a reference. I know that she was born in 1986, and my source is from pulse nigeria, were she did a full 17 minute interview(available on YouTube) stating that she was 29 years old-this was in January 2016. So she is now 31. But as stated earlier I am still learning so I am not familiar with citations. So she was 29 at the time (January 2016) and today she is 31 years old. I recommend you watch the interview to verify my source. Kufuor101 (talk) 02:18, 22 May 2017 (UTC) @Kufuor101: Copy and Paste the link to the interview right here, and state the minute where she revealed her age. That shouldn't be difficult.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 15:27, 22 May 2017 (UTC) Hello Jamie Tubers, this is the YouTube link to her full pulse Nigeria interview: The minutes in which she states her age were between 7:04-7:07, in which she was asked who inspires her. This is were she states she is 29 years old, in January 2016!! Now I would appreciate it if you please do not take a rude and condescending tone with me, with the language you used on my talk page, as I said on Darreg's talk page, I am new and still learning to navigate Wikipedia and its operations. On the otherhand, whilst on the subject of accurate citations and sources, which you are very serious about, as a experienced contributor on Wikipedia (by looking through your user page and talk page), I reckon that you would want accurate sources, so I find it surprising that her year of birth(1988), which you are defending aggressively, I clicked on the citation link, and it led me to a third party website, which is a combination of different sources I assume from various sources. Though most of the information on that site is quite factual. But I want you to judge fairly, and choose which source is more accurate: will it be my source which is full in depth interview from the subject (Adesua Etomi), who with her OWN MOUTH stated her age on a reputable entertainment blog like Pulse Nigeria OR are you going to take information from a third party site all in all the name of wanting to be right. Please be the judge because as wiki contributors, you owe thousands of readers the truth. Enough said.. Like I said the video is on YouTube freely available to verify yourself. No need for me to lie. The edit page is not allowing my to post the link otherwise it would not save but as I said it is on YouTube with the specific minutes I have stated on this post. Kufuor101 (talk) 22:26, 22 May 2017 (UTC). @Kufuor101: What is the title of the YouTube video? Darreg (talk) 22:37, 22 May 2017 (UTC) The name of the YouTube video is: Full Interview: Nollywood Actress Adesua Etomi Chats With Pulse TV. As stated again the exact minutes she states her age is between 7:04-7:07. Remember this was in January 2016. Thanks. Kufuor101 (talk) 22:46, 22 May 2017 (UTC) @Kufuor101:You don't need to ping me on my talkpage, I will be notified automatically. I have seen the interview, and you were right about her saying she was 29 in January 2016, however, we need non-trivial sources for information such as year of birth. There are people that if their birthday is in October and we are in May, they start claiming the October age, so until there is a clearer source for this information, we can't include the year in her article We have two sources saying different things, even though one is more reliable since its from the horses' mouth but she did not state the year so it is still not 100% sufficient. I hope you understand? Darreg (talk) 23:07, 22 May 2017 (UTC) Darreg, I agree with what you're saying, but there are several instances of BLP articles having multiple date of birth included in the infobox. Please check out the Mariah Carey and Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán articles. If there are two reliable sources stating different info, those sources can cited in the article.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 23:37, 22 May 2017 (UTC) I am actually an example of a person who starts claiming my new age from January, despite my birthday, being in the middle of the year. So far, so good, many reliable sources (even Punch) are using 1988, while no source (whether reliable or not, uses 1986). It'd be better to have a link where Adesua actually declares her date of birth. Also, I got a mail from someone who claims to be her manager (User:Msjazzyfed) recently, and she came to complain about her full name, no mention of the age, which is infact a bigger issue.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 13:05, 24 May 2017 (UTC march 13 1998 Incompetent Journalists from News Sources I would just like to say, that frankly it is quite disappointing that as wiki contributors we have decided that even if a fact is obvious, we quote sources that have clearly misrepresented the facts. The fact that a news article like Punch or Naij.com cites or misrepresents facts such as date of birth, does not make it right. It just means that these organisations have incompetent, lazy journalists who do not verify and cross examine their information. These people need to be fired. I cannot believe that you as a contributor will be a participant in spreading FAKE NEWS. The reason i say this is because, how can you people still think she is 29 based on news articles who have clearly not done their research. A saying goes a first fool is a fool, the 2nd fool more foolish the third is the bigger fool. An interview which she declares her age as 29 years old in january 2016, and now it turns out that she is 29 again in 2017. Please think about it. Does it make sense that she has been 29 years old for 2 years in a row. Come on that is ridiculous and insane. In life my fellow author you are supposed to question everything you read, hear and see. You just do not passively accept it, you have to be critical of everything you see and hear . That is the difference between someone who is of higer intelligence and low intelligence regardless of educational background. Even, if we were to go by your explanation that people state their upcoming age even before their birthday arrives. Then she should be 30 by now. I mean i am sorry u are not making sense. Look even the most reliable media organisations such as Forbes magazine, Okayafrica, vogue any information they release must be scrutinised and i am sure they have made errors in the past. But what distinguishes credible news articles from ones who are just plain incompetent is first they carry out thorough and extensive research to verify their claims. Secondly is their ability to admit they were wrong if they spread false information. Because as a country and a continent as a whole we must get rid of the spirit of incompetence and mediocrity for us to progress and reach our maximum potential. Look just think about it and ponder, i know the last thing we want is to mislead the readers. A word to the wise is enough. Kufuor101 (talk) 16:39, 29 May 2017 (UTC) @Kufuor101: I understand your frustrations. Wikipedia relies on info published in secondary sources. If a secondary source contains erroneous info, the Wikipedia article using the source will contain the same erroneous info. I don't want you to get worked up over this. As human beings, we all make mistakes. I agree with you that she is 31 years old. She did admit to being 29 years old in this 2016 video interview. However, we can't add her year of birth to the infobox because we do not have a source that explicitly states this. For now, it's best to omit her year of birth.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 19:52, 29 May 2017 (UTC) @Jamie Tubers: and Darreg, I went ahead and omitted her year of birth from the article until better sourcing becomes available. There's no dispute that she was born on 22 February.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 20:04, 29 May 2017 (UTC) Versace, I believe it is wrong to remove Adesua's DoB because there are "no reliable sources" (per your reason), because the source you removed is infact a reliable source. If there're double claims in reliable sources, the standard is to include both claims per the WP:NPOV. I'm sure you know this already. So what I'm going to do is add back the birthdate which is the only source we have right now for BIRTHYEAR, and I'll include the interview she granted in the early life section--Jamie Tubers (talk) 20:32, 29 May 2017 (UTC) I don't think you should this when the year of birth has been brought into question. If you do this, I am afraid I will be taking this to the dispute resolution noticeboard for a thorough clarification.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 20:43, 29 May 2017 (UTC) Please feel free to take the matter to dispute resolution. But I believe, they'd most probably agree with duly representing all claims that are backed by reliable sources. There is infact a category for biographies with disputed year, and from what I have observed so far in the 5 articles I randomly clicked on, that is the norm.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 21:11, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Re:Covenant University

Dareg, I have read your message on which you noted that I removed an encyclopedic content from Covenant University. While I acknowledge the quality of the sources used in the article, I feel that some of the sources cited (primary sources, to be specific) are link to the article subject. This may lead to general spam (that is, WP:CITESPAM or WP:LINKSPAM). I do know that primary sources are cited in an article at least to support a claim; they do not mean the information contains in them are not verifiable. Yet 'verifiabilty does not guarantee inclusion'. But the problem these primary sources have in the article cited above is that they (primary sources) are given undue self-serving (see WP:ABOUTSELF and WP:UNDUE. Again, the primary sources used in the original article before my edits are suffering from 'multiple citation' instead of using [named reference] tag. My humble edits in [Covenant University] are to make the article looks more objective (ie avoiding conflict of interest). So primary sources should be used with care!However, the school website provided in the external links is enough to justify any claim you have about primary sources instead citing the same link multiply times.--Nwachinazo (talk) 11:34, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Avoid Structural Spam

Darreg it is better to try to avoid an article that are structurally spamming. Leave that to the school website. The initial structure of the article Covenant University looked like a spam. Also try to avoid 'other articles i Wikipedia are written like that' (see [[WP:Some stuff exists for a reason]). By the way, what is your relationship with the article subject? I suspect through your edits that you might have a conflict of interest, which could make you ineligible to edit this article or revert any reasonable edits made by other editors.--Nwachinazo (talk) 12:18, 3 August 2017 (UTC). As regards removing primary sources in the above article, I am not obliged to replace them with secondary reliable and verifiable sources. I have no doubt that this is not part of the Wikipedia:policies and guidelines in editing. However, if there are no secondary sources to replace them with, the material inserted is better removed or rephrased and inserted into a header that will serve it. This is what I have done.

Avoid repetition/spam

Hi, it was not a mistake. I removed the material because I have already placed them in the section after the lead to avoid repetition and possible spam. I advise you to remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nwachinazo (talk • contribs) 13:49, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

You don't need to ping me on my talkpage, I get notified automatically since its my talk page. The individual holding the highest administrative position in a notable university is of encyclopedic interest and deserves a section of its own. See Wikipedia:Notability (academics) (criterion 6). Darreg (talk) 18:29, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Provided he or she has third-party independent reliable and veritable source (s) that prove his or her notability. Thus, your sources are mere websites linked to the institution (see conflict of interest) They are of course questionable sources. 'Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.' (see WP:BASIC)Also being related to a notable institution like Covenant University does not confer notability on an individual except there is an independent verifiable source that covers the individual in great depth. So, if you can prove their need for a separate header with sources that are not questionable, then give. Questionable sources are cited insofar as 'the articles are not primarily based on such sources'. (see verifiability). This is my point. Can you compare 'alumni' section and the last part of 'history and governance' of Covenant University? Nwachinazo (talk) 21:35, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Women's Football / Soccer Task Force News: August 2017

Should the women's football task force become WikiProject: WOSO?

According to an op-ed in the recent Signpost, some editors think task forces and subgroups are dying in 2017. What do you think about forming our own WikiProject separate from WP:FOOTY? There's an on-going discussion of the potential pros and cons on the task force talk page. Input is welcome.

Recent developments New initiatives have been created for: FA WSL (England's top-division league) NCAA (American university teams, conferences, etc.) W-League (Australia's top-division league) Ongoing tournaments UEFA Women's Euro 2017 (July 16 – August 6, 2017) UEFA Women's Euro 2017 Final (August 6, 2017) 2017 Tournament of Nations (July 27– August 3, 2017) Current and upcoming seasons for top-division leagues 2017 National Women's Soccer League season (United States) ongoing 2017–18 Liga MX Femenil season (Mexico) ongoing 2017–18 W-League (Australia) starts in Sept. 2017–18 FA WSL (England) starts in Sept. 2017–18 Division 1 Féminine (France) starts in Sept. 2017–18 Frauen-Bundesliga (Germany) starts in Sept. 2017–18 Indian Women's League season (India) starts in Oct. Did you know? While WP:FPL lists only two women's top-division leagues as notable due to its "fully professional" criteria, did you know you can create an article on any player in any league as long as the references meet WP:GNG guidelines? Make sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}. Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page if you'd like and other editors may be able to help. Need tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? Leave a message on the task force talk page.

Can you take a review?

Darreg. I have added some material supported by reliable and independent sources in vice-chancellors header of Covenant University, since you insisted that primary sources should be replaced with secondary sources, though it is not under an obligation that Wikipedia editor should do this. I also urge you to undertake a thorough research to see if there are secondary sources that could appropriately suit an article before you think of primary sources. Wikipedia frowns at primary sources whose 'articles are primarily on such sources' or '...are self-serving'. However, it will be unethical if you revert my edits, knowing full well that reliable third-party sources are provided. Also, I have watch your various edits on the vice-chancellors provided and I still suspect conflict of interest in those articles. What is your relationship with Covenant University? I suspect you are an alumna/alumnus!--Nwachinazo (talk) 00:40, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

This will be the last time I will say this, so you better heed to my words carefully. I consider it an harassment to come on my talkpage and point COI fingers at me per wp:outing. Your statements are unfounded, baseless, psychogenic, delusional and mere rhetorics at the very least. If you think I'm a COI editor, you can go to COI noticeboard with your complain/evidence, and they will instruct you appropriately, I'm not here to tutor any potential problematic editor.

I have two main issues with your latest edit on the list of Vice Chancellors section. Firstly, list of vice chancellors section must have a list, it has been a list for several years, you can't just come and change things on your own. Besides, it was already written in essay-like format under "History and governance" before your last edit. Secondly, per wp guidelines, I stand for sourced factual and accurate information. You included some VC's without any source and removed some completely from the article. That is against wp:verifiability and wp:correctness.

For your own good, visit Wikipedia:Third opinion to get some advice from some patient editors before thinking about reverting my edits. I'm not the nicest editor around, and my history here show that I usually have a problem with Wikipedians that don't know what they are doing. If you revert my next edits on that article, you might not like the next words I might use. Darreg (talk) 20:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

The COI guideline is more complicated than it may seem, and it usaully involve some level of WP:COMMONSENSE in administering it, that is why I will advise you leave that for more experienced Wikipedians. If you suspect an editor has COI connection seek the counsel of independent experienced editor first or better still visit the Teahouse for advice.

For the purpose of this explanation, I will be assuming I'm actually an alumnus of CU. I want to show you that; that in itself in this context isn't enough reason to accuse an editor of COI connection. For you to suspect accuse an editor of COI, one of these two must have preceded it. 1. The editor must have disclosed his connection to the article. 2. The editor must have been editing the article in a promotional tone.

In this hypothetical situation that I have created, you cant prove that either of those have occurred. Just because I was constantly watching over an article doesn't translate to a COI connection. While the article might contain some unsourced statements, you didn't even bother to verify who added them. I have never edited that article without a source, I was even the one that created the criticism section, that doesn't exist in most school's articles. You basically must be able to prove that an editor has been clearly biased in his edits to an article for you to state a COI concern to his face.

These two precedents for laying COI claims is needed because all Wikipedians is a potential COI editor. I'm Nigerian and a Christian; does that mean I can't edit [Nigeria]] and Jesus Christ article? From your edit history, I'm 99% sure you're Igbo yet you edit Igbo oriented articles. The only way I can accuse you of COI is if after evaluating your edits I can prove that you've been biased. I hope you get the drill. Before accusing of COI, you consider the closeness of the article to the editor and the NPOV of the editor edits. Happy editing. Darreg (talk) 17:32, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Timilehin Bello

Hello Darreg, the issues raised in the previous article for Timilehin Bello have been addressed and the page has recently been reviewed and approved as meeting Wikipedia's notability criteria. Would you kindly revert the nomination for speedy deletion, if there is no other issue with the page, other thanm it was nominated for deletion before? Pastorflex (talk) 09:22, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

• This is an article for a pr person, I'll be follow the rules completely in my evaluation of the references. ref 3, 4 and 6 are not reliable sources. Ref 1 resulted to a "page not found". Even if the page exists, the title suggest that its just a pr advertisement on the presence of a pr personell in a pr program. Ref 2 was a nomination for a nn award. If it was a win, I would have considered it slightly but its a nomination. Ref 5 is an announcement that he wants to start his own company, counts for absolutely nothing. Ref 7 is also an announcement for an event that could or could-not have happened. Ref 8 is a good example of coverage in a reliable source. Ref 9 is an interview, and interviews are not regarded as significant independent coverage in rs, that leaves us with only reference 8, and since gng talks about "multiple", not "single" it doesn't meet it. The awards won/nom are not good enough to confer the slightest amount of notability and support the Vanguard ref on the subject. As best this is a case of WP:TOOSOON, let's see if references on him will get better in the future. For now, I still think it should remain deleted. Darreg (talk) 09:42, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

• Hello Darreg, it appears as though you are reviewing the references based on the titles of the articles. In my experience and understanding of the way references work and are reviewed, they are supposed to be checked against if they buttress the claim being made. For example, Ref 5 from PulseNG a notable Nigerian media house is tiled "Timilehin Bello is set to start his PR Firm...", but it also contains information about the briefs he has handled, which was indicated in the article page, this is a quote from the Pulse article "He joined BHM in April 2014 and started in Digital Media where he worked majorly on social media. Within six months, Bello was transferred to the Public Relations Department/Client Service Department in September 2014. His first role was to serve as an assistant on Hennessy/Viacom Account. Having recorded success on his first task, he was made the client/service consultant for Gulder Ultimate Search XI, which put Bello on the chart as a man with enviable PR skills." as you can see the Pulse article doesn't just refer to him starting his company, it also profiles some of the claims in his wikipedia article, such as when he left BHM, and the accounts that he handled, which is the same with the other interviews and articles, they were cited specifically because of the claims in the wikipedia article which they buttress, not because of their titles.

It is therefore misleading to state "Ref 5 is an announcement that he wants to start his own company, counts for absolutely nothing.". You also stated that "Ref 7 is also an announcement for an event that could or could-not have happened", however, the reference from Champion Newspaper, a Nigerian daily is cited to buttress, some the claim of the wikipedia article that he has worked with certain personalities on several projects.

I still believe that the personality is notable enough to meet wikipedia notability critera.Pastorflex (talk) 12:32, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

@Pastorflex: you should note that Wikipedia does not work with one's "belief", this project is centred on verifiability and WP:GNG. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 21:16, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

In addition to what Oluwa2Chainz has said. You've been a reasonable editor and I don't want you to have the impression that I'm all out on deleting your article so I wouldn't want to continue with this discussion here. My motivation is really about ensuring serenity on Wikipedia. But to put it firmly, I don't agree with all you've said concerning the notability. You've done some great work here, and if it was a case of borderline notability, I might have overlooked it. My advice for you is that after/if the article is deleted, you should go through AFC if you still bent on recreating it. Cheers and happy editing. Darreg (talk) 21:40, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Darreg. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 20:15, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Darreg, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Alex Shih^Talk 03:13, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Etannibi Alemika

I created the article on Etannibi Alemika. However between having a slight headache, not understanding criminology journal rankings, and just not wanting to create too much all on my own, I only did about the minimum to avoid a deletion. I am hoping now that it is started others will help expand it. I did not even mention his wife Emily Alemika whose article is up for deletion in the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:30, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Johnpacklambert for your commitment in ensuring notable topics remain and non-notable ones are removed sufficiently. Your consistency at AFD discussions encourages others (like myself) to participate in it. I will improve the newly created article and add info on the wife (with sources of course). Thanks for the creation once again. WP lacks articles on notable Nigerian academics such as this one. Darreg (talk) 18:52, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:44, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi

Hi Darreg, Msjazzyfed here. You added a disclosure tag on an article i edited. Name of the article is Adesua Etomi. Thanks for being polite. I have an issue in relation to that page and I'd be grateful if you could please help. An editor named Jamie Tubbers keeps spelling her name as Adesuwa Etomi as opposed to Adesua Etomi. I have tried to explain to him that this is not her name but a misspelling lazy Nigerians started. The major problem is that there is actually a variant of the name Adesuwa in Nigeria but this belongs to the Bini or Yoruba tribes. She is Adesua and from the Esan tribe. I manage Adesua Etomi and Jamie rudely pointed out that i have a conflict of interest, which is fair enough, but it doesn't change the fact that i am right. My client and i actually find this misspelling of her name annoying. Wikipedia is a source many people quote, and how do we get this trend to stop if a source like Wikipedia won't correct it? Do i need to send you official documents showing her birth name? Please advise on hoe we can fix this. I'm very happy to never edit this article again, because even though Jamie was extremely rude, i can see why. I'd be grateful for your assistance. Thank youMsjazzyfed (talk) 22:37, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

• Hello again, Msjazzyfed

The only interaction I remember having with you is the one here. I'm not sure of the part of it that comes off as "extremely rude" to you. However, please accept my apologies; that wasn't my intention.

You requested something similar to this in that other page, and I took time to explain how to go about it, if you want the "correct name" on Wikipedia. You never replied to it. Let's hear what Darreg has to say concerning that change. Cheers.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 01:43, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

@Msjazzyfed I believe you are likely saying the truth, but statements by Wikipedia editors alone is never enough to make a lasting change. Since you are into new media, why don't you contact one of the notable Nigerian web portals to publish an article that states that her birthname is "Adesua", not "Adesuwa"? This is the only way we can prevent just anybody from changing information about her since WP is a free encyclopaedia that anyone can edit. I did a websearch and I noticed some notable sources like Channels TV spell it as Adesuwa in some articles. @Jamie tubers, I wasn't following your argument in the past. I know that Adesua Etomi is probably the only "Adesua" I have seen being spelt that way and "Adesuwa" is clearly more generic. So I want to know if that is your main reason for thinking her birthname is likely "Adesuwa"? Because sources seem conflicted. Darreg (talk) 02:03, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

• When I got the mail from Mzjazzyfed, I searched the web and discovered that every major news outlet had "Adesuwa" as the subject's birthname. This made sense, since everyone I know that bears "Adesua" was actually given "Adesuwa" at birth. I told Msjazzyfed to correct the supposed misinformation with the media first, either through an interview or simply through one of Adesua's verified social media pages. This was supposed to be a simple process; we've had similar issue before with Nse Ikpe Etim's birthplace. It didn't take up to a week that she clarified it on her verified facebook page and the information was subsequently corrected. In Mzjazzyfed's case, she instead gave me a lecture about Nigerian ethnic name origin (which I kindly asked her to even lead me to anywhere online I can read up on it but she didn't). I see most of the media outlets have now changed the birthname of the subject to "Adesua", most probably due to this kind of claim Mzjazzyfed is making here. However, the reluctance of Mzjazzyfed to even try to clarify this information through a verified public platform makes her claim suspicious. This is not age, which people can lie about to achieve whatever aim they wish to achieve. A simple statement from Adesua herself through any means will end the "misinformation" once and for all, not just on Wikipedia, but on all other media platforms.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 12:46, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Considered for deletion

User:Darreg I wondered how someone like you, just because you have a conflict of interest with me and also because I created Lil Ameer you will mark it as a considered for deletion article. You better understand why you are here on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not our personal property. I am contributing just because I have an interest for adding more value to it not to use my knowledge to destroy it. You edited a page Yakubu Dogara and your contribution to it shows that you were adding something which is not supposed to be part of that article. Go to the history of that page and see the contribution I personally made on it. So I am not destroying it, rather improving it. Please review what you did there. Also you are using religion as a weapon and to show the behavior of an ordinary Nigerian. Why would you be addressing me as northern Muslim. Why won't you addressed me as a Nigerian? Please mind your language and know how to address people properly. You have a respect from me and better maintained it that way. Zubairu Dalhatu 22:59, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

I am glad you know that Wikipedia is not our personal property, that is why you should have initiated a discussion to get consensus before continously reverting my edits. You don't know what Christians are going through in the north, but as courtesy I can assure you I wouldn't associate Islam or North to you again. Except I have extremely justifiable reasons to do so.

November

Hi, it's entries created during the month of November. Feel free to add the entries done before to Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge (Africa) though!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:21, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Dr. Blofeld: I think you deleted some of Darreg's articles from the WiR Contest page on the grounds that they were created too early. In fact they were moved from drafts on 1 November and are therefore acceptable.--Ipigott (talk) 11:25, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Ah, were they? Please readd them/revert me then ;-). Did Sturmvogel also do drafts? I couldn't see anything in the editing histories. There's a problem now though with approval, does the editing history show a move from drafts to mainspace, can the bot detect that Emirjp?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:28, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

My apologies Darreg, you did them in draft space :-). Thanks!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:41, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

No problem. Its fine. Darreg (talk) 21:16, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

The reason why the bot is crossing many for formatting is because you're inconsistent with date formatting, either pick digits or writing 2017-11-8 vs 8 November etc. Make sure it's consistent and that the articles all have 1000 bytes readable prose, download the tool on the main contest page. The bot should approve then.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:21, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. I will keep that in mind when re-editing all my submitted articles. Definitely, before the end of the month. Another great thing about this contest is that it makes editors learn to create better articles. Darreg (talk) 21:36, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Categories

Hi Darreg! Don't forget to add categories to any articles you create. Thanks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 18:11, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

I just added relevant categories to all the articles I created today. I will have love to add the appropriate categories while in draft space, but an editor once told me it wasn't allowed. I guess I need to do it more swiftly when my next set of articles are being created. Regards. Darreg (talk) 21:16, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

November 2017

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Patience Ozokwor. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Biographies of filmmakers

Hello! Just a reminder, the Film project does not cover biography articles. Therefore, the {{WikiProject Film}} banner should not be added to articles about actors, directors and filmmakers. Those articles are covered by adding |filmbio-work-group=yes to {{WikiProject Biography}} instead. Thanks! Fortdj33 (talk) 22:22, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Noted. I'll keep that in mind when am creating my next batch of articles in a few hours time. Regards. Darreg (talk) 22:26, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Dolapo Osinbajo

I intended creating an article on the vice president's wife this morning but to my surprise I could hardly lay my hands on any substantial press coverage. I read news about a recent book launch and some piece of information from a blog I won't consider a reliable source. If there's anyway you think I can get access to sources, you can please tell me or kindly link them here. I felt that as the wife of the vice, she should have been significantly covered by the press more than what I'm seeing. She's unarguably notable but content is an issue, I had a similar issue with the deputy governor of Lagos stat some months ago that I eventually created a stubby article. Regards! Mahveotm (talk) 00:13, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for stopping by. I am feeling sleepy now, will check for sources later in the day. Tommorow, I'll find out what she was doing before she became VP wife. If she was a managing director of a significant company, or a lecturer or something that sounds noteworthy then irrespective of GNG, she should deserve an article. But personally, I will rather create an article for a female professor that does not meet WP:NPROF 100% than to create one for a woman whose only career is being the wife of an officeholder. I know you're aware of WP:NNOTINHERITED, and I agree with you that as the spouse of the vice president, she would likely be notable, at least as long as Osinbajo remains in politics. But generally, I usaully look at wives of notable officeholders that have a sound career. For example, Rivers State governor's wife is a chief judge in Rivers State. Until I know the profession of Dolapo Osinbajo before I can really assess her. I wonder why it didn't even occur to me to consider her before now.Darreg (talk) 01:17, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

There is not reason for reverting my post

I put up a post in Davido's Tagbo controversy that met all the criteria. If you had tangible stuff to add to the article, why didn't you? Cant you ADD or MODIFY. Why must you DELETE a concise and well researched edit like that. Aghachi7 (talk) 11:53, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Per WP:BLP, if a notable musician like Davido is accused of murder, that information can only be added to his Wikipedia article if he was convicted. But the case was thrown out for lacking merit by the relevant security agencies in Nigeria. If you want that information included, sue Davido to court for aiding the death of Tagbo and if the judge sees merit in your argument then I will include it in the article (with sources). For now, including it will be against so many Wikipedia policies. I'm sure even Davido doesn't want it there, not like his opinion really matters though. Darreg (talk) 15:41, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Plus his death doesn't have any lasting impact on Davido's career. In one month time, everyone will forget about Tagbo. He is not even notable per WP standards. Davido didn't even attend his burial. Mentioning him in the article is pointless and uncyclopaedic.Darreg (talk) 15:49, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
